18-24

We were recently notified by Bethany that the wait times for our Ethiopian adoption are changing...again.  Now we are being told it will be an 18-24 month wait for a referral.  We are about 9 months into waiting already, but this change significantly increases wait times for us and all the other families in the program.


Things continue to change all the time though...it could be shorter, it could be longer.  The increase is largely politically driven.  We are glad the government wants to make sure things are done ethically, but at the same time our hearts break for the millions of orphans waiting for a home.  Please pray for Ethiopia, the government, and the precious orphans.
